LANGDON P. MARVIN ELECTED TO HEAD UNION COMMITTEE

Election of Langdon P. Marvin '41 to head the 1941 Union Committee was announced at the end of last week by Kendric N. Marshall, '21 Secretary of the Union.

Marvin takes the post held last year by Douglas Morcer '40, which was created at that time to provide badly needed leadership for the Committee. E. Langdon Burwell '41 who was runner-up in the balloting for the chairmanship, assummes the position of vice-chairman.

Groton Graduate

Marvin came to Harvard from Groton where he received highest honors in English and French, and honors in Latin and Physics. he was a member of the baseball and tennis teams while there. Burwell is an Exeter graduate and a first honor student.

First duties of the new officers is the arrangement of the freshman Dance scheduled for Friday night. An intensive begun. Last week announcements setting a nominal fee of $1.50 "to cover printing and distribution" were distributed in the Yard dormitories.

Setting as a goal an attendance of 340, Marvin said that tickets would be for sale all this week at a desk in the lobby of the Union. Although admitting that only 15 had been sold so far, he expressed the belief that "any dance event involving such great numbers of students could not help but be a success."

Tickets will cost $1.50 a couple and $1.25 for stags. The comparatively high rate for stags has been set in an effort to encourage all students to bring partners according to Marvin. Don Gahan and his orchestra will supply the music.

Prize For Posters

Posters advertising the Dance have been submitted by Fred Bruch, David D. Wells and M. S. D. Gill, all freshmen. Additional posters are forthcoming, and all those whose work is accepted will receive free tickets. George G. Thomson, Jr. '41, Richard S. Eustis, Jr. '41, and Wells from the publicity committee.

All profit will go for future activities of the Union Committee. Plans for the future program are still in the formative stage, but activities will be largely the same as last year. A special Christmas Dinner is in prospect.

Later on there will probably be amateur entertainment's by students, readings by Charles Townsend Copeland, '82 and possibly a second dance. Reviews for all Freshman courses will precede mid-year examinations.

Last year a profit of $75 was realized from the sale of 100 tickets. Some of this was used to arrange special programs and the remainder given to the Spring Jubilee committee
